Licensing and authorization procedures are introduced in cases where the implementation of certain types of activities (actions) by natural persons or legal entities may entail harm to the life and health of citizens, damage to the rights and legitimate interests of natural persons and legal entities, damage to public safety and (or) harm to the environment. State institutions established by decisions of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan or the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan are entitled to carry out licensed types of activities without obtaining an appropriate license, provided that the implementation of these types of activities is provided for by decisions of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan or the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan. This rule does not exempt the specified state institutions from fulfilling license requirements and conditions.

Licenses can be open-ended or, for certain types of activities, have the period of validity five years, in which case they can be extended at request of the applicant. The Law lists documentation required for obtaining license and authorization and establishes the grounds for the refusal of issuance of licenses and authorizations. Activities (actions) carried out in a notification manner include types of activities (actions) that do not require a decision by the authorized body to start activities (actions), but are carried out by accepting obligations by legal entities and natural persons to comply with the requirements established in legislative acts and conditions for ensuring state regulation, as well as keeping records of entities engaged in relevant activities, and exercising control over their activities. To carry out the types (subtypes) of activities (actions) specified in Annex No. 3 to this Law, it is required to notify the authorized body thereof.
